BOULDER CITY, Nev.

The Hoover Dam visitor center reopened Monday while authorities continued investigating the weekend discovery of an explosive blasting cap in a construction tunnel.

Bob Walsh, spokesman for the federal Bureau of Reclamation, which operates the dam, said a fire department bomb squad was called about 1 p.m. Sunday after the blasting cap was found.

“Nobody hurt, nobody panicked,” Walsh said. The visitor center was closed as a precaution, and authorities said there was no indication of terrorism.

Officials removed the explosive from the tunnel in a canyon wall and detonated it away from the dam.

The Bureau of Reclamation estimates that close to 1 million visitors a year tour the dam on the Colorado River, 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas, and millions more drive across it.
